TimeShift MP demo on Live

By Tom Bramwell Published 14 November, 2007

Clock-a-doodle-doo!

The promised multiplayer demo of TimeShift has arrived in all Xbox Live territories (except the moon) and weighs in at 867MB.

TimeShift puts you in the boots and fancy time suit of a young man trying to undo the machinations of his old boss, who has gone back in time and remade the world so everyone worships him. Alright for some.

Not that that bit's relevant to the multiplayer, although the timey stuff actually is - as you have time grenades that create bubbles around your enemies that slow them down. Toss into a choke point, sit back and then laugh. And kill.

With lots of over the top guns, including a Gears of War style crossbow with explosive bolts and a big old rocket launcher, it's a fairly enjoyable romp played over Xbox Live, so by all means give it a go. We're not stopping you.

You can also read our review for more on how the rest of the game shapes up. It's out now on PC and Xbox 360, with a PlayStation 3 version due next month.

    I love the way the press relishes the opportunity to bash a good game. This Bramwell idiot called the game a "fear clone" even though it has been in development since before FEAR. A lot of publications have given the game a solid review - probably because they understand games. The MP is certainly better than any other game "in its category" from the Darkness to Prey and it beats COD4 which is derivative crap. I love the way people feel the need to make themselves feel better by bashing a good game...

    Utter fools

    The multiplayer is awesome. ver very good. no lag and a wider FPS view than halo so there is minimum spinning around in circles not knowing who is shooting at you. For playability it does not take long to pick up and capture the flag on trench warfare is superb.

    Its an extremely good mixture of Halo 3 and Lost Planet...but with better weapons than Lost planet and an ability to actually see what is going on unlike halo 3.

    Lots of cool stuff to do with the time grenades.

    Not bothered with the single player campaign which is not very good. It doesn't really help prepare for online battle in the same way that Lost planet does.

    8.5/10
